    I'm in my least favorite place

    Hi there my AF family. It's too long to explain now, but I've been in the hospital since last Tuesday morning. I'd appreciate any good thoughts, prayers, whatever you might send my way. Thanks.

    A veritable crime wave!

    In April the City of Arcadia sent out warnings about recent burglaries, specifically naming my area as one of those being hit. The article outlines what's going on and what the police are doing about it, plus it includes some general safety tips helpful for anyone: Today, my helper spoke to a...

    Pop-up, ultra-annoying, video ads?

    I understand that the site is being worked on/overhauled/updated/etc., and maybe this is just temporary, but I'm CONTINUOUSLY getting pop-up video ads in the bottom right corner of my screen. I've never used [or needed, as a VIP member] any kind of ad-blocker on AF, and don't want to start now...

    I can't get in!!

    Hey everybody, it's @MoodyBlues but I can't get logged in. I've tried different browsers, but I just get stuck. I can use the "Log in" button at the top, but as soon as I log in, it takes me to a 'register' page. At other times (sorry, I've been experimenting and don't recall exactly), I was...

    Heartbroken

    My precious Joy Noelle went to Rainbow Bridge yesterday. She was in her favorite place, on my chest; I held her close, stroked her sweet little face, and I told her a million times how much I love her, and what a joy she's been and how I couldn't imagine the past 18+ years if she hadn't been a...

    Settings for screenshots?

    When I take a screenshot, its thumbnail and a little editing menu next to it stay on-screen for a LONG time. I've looked, unsuccessfully, for a settings option to adjust this behavior. I want to take a screenshot and then have its thumbnail IMMEDIATELY go away! As it is now, I can swipe it away...

    Pondering a new tablet

    I recently bought a slew of new Android games, knowing full well that I wouldn't be happy playing them on my phone, and that they're better suited to a tablet. My "current" tablet is 9 years old! It's an Amazon Fire HD 8.9" that I rooted, so I could get rid of its silly 'carousel' thing I...

    I just factory reset my phone

    I had to. It started acting flaky some months ago, locking up for seconds or, sometimes, even minutes, for no apparent reason, then its fingerprint feature started failing, then....well, a bunch of stuff that made it basically unusable! So a few minutes ago I took a deep breath, reminded myself...

    Need a solution for a door problem

    I could use some brainstorming from the clever folks here. I have an issue with my bedroom door and it's not the end of the world or anything, but I'd be happy to find a solution. Here's the story.... We have to keep my bedroom door open about 6" so my cats can go in and out. The door is only...

    Remodeling/renovating my house

    I've been pretty much MIA around here lately, mostly because I just don't use Android much any more at all. NO! Heaven forbid, I did not switch to the dark side! :o I just mean I use my [Linux] laptop all day and barely touch my [Android] phone any more. So there's not a lot to talk about--I...

    Help URGENT! Is this hopeless?

    How do you like the big 'URGENT' in my subject?! :D This isn't actually a matter of life or death, but it involves death--the death of my helper's father last year. He left a Samsung tablet (sorry, I don't know its model or name right now) but no one knows his login credentials. I told her she...

    [SOLVED} Pedestal sink stopper stuck

    When my new pedestal sink was installed, I asked the contractor how to plug the drain, since there is no up/down plunger thing like on all my previous bathroom sinks. He demonstrated, and then I did what he did, and it worked fine, i.e., press down and turn the stopper to plug the drain, press...

    [SOLVED] Alarm stopped sounding

    For no apparent reason, my alarm just stopped sounding. One day it worked as usual, the next day it didn't. I've tried deleting that particular alarm and setting up a new one--same result. The sounds themselves are fine, as verified with a media player. All of my volume controls are set to...

    Convert solar lamp to electric?

    UPDATE: she's indoors now and has no access to sunlight! I have a beautiful fairy lamp that's been in my yard for years. It lights up, powered by a solar panel. Well, it *did* light up, back before the elements, careless people, and various other things broke it. The lamp itself is fine, but it...

    Help finding the right faucet

    Since this has nothing to do with toilets, I decided not to add it to my toilet thread! I'm having an awful time searching for the kind of faucet I want for my bathtub. This is the Kohler Artifacts faucet I bought for the sink: But they apparently don't have a matching bathtub faucet. This...

    Toilet recommendations?

    I'm renovating my bathroom, and the first thing that's got to go is the toilet. I started looking around online yesterday for toilets, and quickly got overwhelmed. The last time I chose toilets was 20-ish years ago for my house in Dallas; back then, I used to shop at this amazing store called...

    A hot cereal from the 1970s?

    In the mid-'70s, there was a hot cereal that I'd eat every single day; I LOVED it. It was kind of granola-ish, but not really. I remember it had coconut, dates(?) or raisins, and it came in the same type of packets today's hot cereals do, i.e., a 10- or 12-pack box of individual bags; you'd add...

    Hypothetical scenario

    OP SUNDAY: Assume that you and another adult who lives with you are talking in the kitchen. The other person is aware of a project you need their help with, and that it's in your bedroom. You ask when will they be able to help you, and they say "how about an hour?" You repeat, "so an hour from...

    $90M accidental deposits--and they get to keep it!

    This morning's news included a segment about one of those cryptocurrency...banks...things...places....accidentally depositing 90 million dollars in customers' accounts. The consumer reporter, David Lazarus, I read on the LA Times and watch on its sister station KTLA, and really like him--and his...

    Finding a reputable, successful marketing person/company?

    In my entire life I've never had any reason to deal with marketing agencies/people, but now I'm thinking about it. Long story short, my CafePress shops used to bring me 4-figures a month in commission, then CP changed their commission model and it literally dropped to TWO figures overnight. I'm...

    Vaccines and COVID anxiety

    What are your concerns? Why are you hesitant? I had mine in February and March--and keep in mind I'm considered to be in very poor health--and I survived!! :D Contrary to the garbage put out by misinformed, uneducated people who don't understand how vaccines, vaccine clinical trials, and...

    [SOLVED] Recommendations for single-serve coffee maker?

    I want to buy a single-serve coffee maker to have on hand when a whole pot isn't needed. But I started looking around online and....geesh!! There are SO MANY of them! And their features, functions, selling points are all just overwhelming. :o I don't want or need any fancy-schmancy features. I...

    Phone locks up. UGH!

    Out of the blue, my phone recently started locking up, just freezing, everything stops--even the clock. Sometimes, long-pressing the power button for awhile will bring it back to life, but I usually end up having to reboot it....which is something I'm not used to. :o It's my Motorola One Hyper...

    Well, that was fun! (Not)

    So I'm sitting here this morning, Joy Noelle sleeping on my leg while I'm using a laptop, and all of a sudden BOOM!!!! The house rattled. I grabbed Joy and pinned her to my chest, then walked around the house looking outside for a potential cause. Nothing. I called my next-door neighbors and...

    2-step code was rejected

    Hey there! I was prompted for 2-step verification today, received a code, copied and pasted it, and it wasn't accepted. It said try again, so I did...same result. I also tried typing it manually. Same result. I ended up using one of my backup codes and got in. Just FYI. :)
